Made with just bananas! A healthy but delicious alternative to ice cream. It's smooth and creamy just like soft serve ice cream. You can add in anything you want. I like to add peanut butter powder, cocoa powder, and peanuts (as seen above), but vanilla, coconut etc. would work great!
The recipe is here and pictures of the process are below:
Ingredients:
2 large spotted bananas
1-2 Tbsp. milk (non-dairy milk works) (optional)
Optional additions: 2 Tbsp. peanut butter powder or peanut butter, 1-2 Tbsp. cocoa/cacao powder, peanuts, etc.
Directions:
Use slightly overripe, spotted bananas (see below). Prepare a baking pan with parchment paper. Cut banana into 1/4 inch wide disks (see below) and lay flat on the baking pan. Freeze 2-4 hours.
Place the frozen bananas in a high-power blender or food processor. If your blender isn't very strong, some milk may help with the blending process. Blend the bananas by pulsing first until you get a chunky mixture, then pureeing, adding a little milk in if necessary to get a smooth result (see below). Scrape down sides as necessary.
Add in any flavorings and blend until smooth.
Serve with toppings (optional).
best eaten fresh. If you re-freeze, be sure to thaw for 30 minutes or re-blend the banana ice cream before enjoying again.
